If sinA + sin2A = 1 then what is the value of cos2A + cos4A?

If sinA + sin2A = 1 then what is the value of cos2A + cos4A?


1). ½
2). 1
3). 2
4). 3

This Question has 2 answers.

Given,

sinA + sin2A = 1

⇒ sinA = 1 – sin2A = cos2A      ----(1)    (? sin2θ + cos2θ = 1)

Squaring on both sides

sin2A = cos4A      ----(2)

Substitute (1) and (2) in the given expression.

cos2A + cos4A = sinA + sin2A = 1

∴ cos2A + cos4A = 1
